Injuries on the Bears offensive line last game proved worse than expected, especially at tackle.

The Bears did not practice Wednesday and had just one showcase in preparation for the Cardinals game. Coach Matt Eberflus acknowledged the O-line situation was a reason.

Rookie tackle Kiran Amegadjie suffered a calf injury during the game and would not have practiced had a practice been held.

He replaced Braxton Jones on Sunday, and Jones has a knee injury. Jones also would not have been able to practice.

“It doesn’t look like he’s going to be able to come back with that, talking about Kiran out there,” Eberflus said. “And Braxton Jones, knee, we’ll see where that goes. It’s something he’s working through and we’ll see where he is.”

The situation at the guardhouse was somewhat more positive. Both Teven Jenkins (knee) and Ryan Bates were reportedly limited. The Bears are considering moving Bates off injured reserve. He suffered a shoulder injury in the first match and has not played since.

Tackle Larry Borom (ankle) is also on reserve and could be reinstated. He went through a full training.

Neither safety Jaquan Brisker (concussion) nor cornerback Kyler Gordon (hamstring) could return to practice yet. Brisker was ruled out of the Carolina game before the Bears’ trip to London, while Gordon missed last week’s game.

The other big injury concern is defensive end Montez Sweat, who left Sunday’s game with a shin problem. He also wouldn’t have been able to practice.

“He’s got his shin and he’s working on it again and we’re hopeful about that,” Eberflus said. “We’ll see where it goes.”

The offensive line situation could change drastically by the end of the week. They would rather use players who have played rather than those who have been on IR.

“We’re going to stick with the guys that were there,” Eberflus said. “They did a good job. We did a good job of running the ball, if they’re all there for us. We’ll see where it goes.

“I don’t really have the answers for that as we go, but really solid work by the O-line and the offensive staff to coach those guys, as you saw in the last game, being able to connect them and to play these guys like us. get through it.”
